"Why is it important to hold beauty, light, purity, power, and love as your high ideal? Because this ideal has a magical result: an entire network of energies is woven between you and this ideal. This ideal activates hidden forces within us; it awakens them and attracts them to itself. A kind of polarity is produced between ourselves and our ideal which gives us not only a means of comparison, a yardstick, and a model, but also serves as a magical element which activates the forces of our consciousness and superconciousness. An ideal influences the mental body so that it learns to discern and recognise what is perfect; an ideal awakens warmth and love in the heart; and through an ideal the will is stimulated and energised. Thus, our high ideal attunes our entire being to God Himself."
